Civil procedure: other; civil actions for criminal sexual conduct; provide exception to notice requirements for actions filed in the court of claims. Amends sec. 6431 of 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.6431). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4482'23

This bill modifies the rules for filing civil lawsuits against the state of Michigan specifically for cases involving criminal sexual conduct. It creates an exception to the standard requirement that plaintiffs must file a notice of their claim within one year of the incident. By linking this change to a companion bill, the legislation allows victims of criminal sexual conduct to bypass the usual strict filing deadlines that apply to other types of property damage or injury claims. The measure is designed to ensure that these specific cases can proceed in court without being dismissed due to missed procedural time limits.
